Canonical Data & Process Models for B2B Integration
نویسنده
چکیده
In this document, we introduce the concepts of Canonical Data and Canonical Process Models as a way of tackling the problem of interoperability between widely adopted business standards (as far as business messages and respectively business processes are concerned). We describe the general problem that interoperability addresses in this context, and introduce a concrete example to see where such canonical models would be useful in practice. We then further analyse canonical data and process models as far as related work and potential solutions for building such models in a systematic way are concerned.

متن کاملInformation Integration with Warp 10
Warp 10 is a novel approach to B2B-integration combining concepts from semantic data modeling, Natural Language Processing and Schema Matching to define a consolidated data model termed canonical model. The canonical model is built up semi-automatically and grows in size and complexity upon matching with schemas provided by a business community. The business context of a matching task allows fo...
